Novica Live Review & Giveaway

Novica is a unique organization that gives artisans from around the world a global marketplace, enabling them to sell their wares. From the Novica website:

“We want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.

At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.

We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.

In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together.”

My daughter, Becky, recently made a purchase of these beautiful amethyst earring studs:

When Becky’s package from Novica arrived, it included a very nice card from the artist who created the earrings:

I thought my choice would be the ‘Precious She-Elephant’ SS cuff, then went to the page and saw ‘Elephant Parade’ and another page for the ‘Galaxy’ SS cuff. Oh stop me.
A marvelous site. I’ve bookmarked Novica.

I would get my daughter a pair of your beautiful ear rings. i would allow her to pick them, as she loves anything with colored stones. I seen many she would love. TY for the chance to win:) The Ashby family

I ADORE Novica – and given that there are currently over 350 items on my Novica Wish List (!) It’s pretty hard to figure out what I would use this very generous GC for without giving it a lot of thought! In the past I’ve mostly bought jewelry – and more recently three handbags – but I have many other types of items high on my list – including quite a few sculptures/statues.

One of my favorite artists is Ning Charoensri of Thailand. I love many of her wood statuettes, especially “INVITATION”! Thank you so much for the very fine giveaway!
